This workshop is the perfect next step for actors familiar with the founding exercises of the Meisner Technique, but yet to approach working with text. The focus will be on discovering how this Technique transforms an actor’s work with text with particular attention given to text analysis and scene exploration.

We take a script + Impulse actors + 5 days of rehearsal and finish with an electric and connected sharing of the work in our  ‘Not-a-Performance’ open showing. Scott chooses a play based on the specific group enrolled in the course. You play as cast, making discoveries along the way, aided by the techniques we teach.

Sanford Meisner defined acting as “living truthfully under a given set of circumstances.” In this introductory course, you will delve into this concept, from Repetition foundations through to working with text - all in an intense, joyous, and transformative 5 days.
